4 I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

6 Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

7 As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!

Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.
